Latchet means the following:

Pterygotrigla andertoni (Painted latchet)

Pterygotrigla polyommata (Latchet)

'And John.preached, saying, There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose'(Mark 1:7).

Not to Schellendore and not to Ottleman, not to Francks nor Timiryaseff, not even to Piritim-Kess, the latchet of whose shoe I am not - but why do I say that?

And John said, 'I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose; and he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.' "

It may be held to the foot by a narrow thong that generally passes between the first and second toe, or by a strap or lace, variously called a latchet, sabot strap or sandal, that passes over the arch of the foot or around the ankle.
